A comparative analysis of the top articles published in library and information science journals has been carried out using correlation comparison between the traditional citations v/s modern score derived by the approach of altmetrics score. The common approach points for the study are: finding the most popular social media platform for Altmetric studies; the most popular LIS articles grabbed social media attention; and conducting the correlation comparison of citation and altmetric attention scores. Top 10 LIS journals with the highest Google scholar metrics in terms of h5-index were selected. After analysis, the top ten articles were selected on the basis of highly cited articles, altmetrics attention score, countrywise twitting. The first article has got the highest citations and AAS with 1528 and 1972 respectively and also got highest online attentions from Mendeley with 1930 readers and featured in 31 tweets. Paper-9 has got the highest of 196 tweets, followed by paper 3 & 7 with 99 and 59 tweets respectively. Overall the AAA score, outscored the citations for all articles considered for the study. USA tops the list in the tweeting these top articles with 73, with 51 UK secured second position in twitting scholarly literature. The results found that a significant difference with a negative correlation at r (9) =-.106, p=.770. The study suggests that Indian scholars need to use social media sites such as Blogs, Tweets, Facebook, Wiki, Mendeley and others to enable the scholarly literature to reach the wider audience efficiently and effectively.

A patent is an important source of scholarly information and forms a link for scholarly communication in any discipline. The role played by and the influence of patents on scientific invention and innovation has become integral part of R&D, Product development, marketing and many scientific and commercial activities. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the citations for the popular journal called Scientometrics available in the patents issued by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). This study provides an overview on the importance of patent citations to scientific journals and provides the citations from the patents available in the USPTO database for Scientometrics Journal, a journal in the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) and Scholarly metrics. This study identifies to what extent the articles from the Scientometrics journal are used and cited by inventors of the patents in the USPTO. We analyzed the patent citations to Scientometrics. The results show that the total number of core patent citations to Scientometrics journal papers on the USPTO were 53 out of 64 retrieved results. The technical papers (or technology-oriented papers) related to various scientific, technical, the World Wide Web, and search engines published in Scientometrics journal attracted more citations from patents.
